[RC] Duvall and Farnsworth - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

OMG, how did I leave off Duvall!   Yes, he'd be at the top of the  
list.  Ben Johnson, too, he was the real deal.  CC

Richard Farnsworth was a stunt man for 40 years for Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, 
etc. He was the one switching from one horse to the other at a gallop or 
jumping from the stage coach to run forward on a team of 6 runaways to get on 
the lead horse and slow them down. I saw a photo spread on his stunts in 
Western Horseman once. In "Sylvester" he plays an old cavalry officer who is 
working with Sylvester on dressage in the dark. 

In Lonesome Dove you may remember a scene where Duvall is on a horse and shoots 
a rifle and the horse cuts loose bucking like a rodeo. That wasn't scripted. 
His horse cut loose on him and he rode it out beautifully so they kept it in 
there. I heard Tom Cruise bought him a nice foxhunter as a gift after Days of 
Thunder because he was an avid foxhunter.
